What is the most OUTRAGEOUS thing you've ever seen an apostate do?

hey i was just wondering if some of you wouldnt mind relating some crazy stories of things that apostates have done to get attention of witnesses and break them out of the trance.

i would think right after the 'stay alive till '75' fiasco there must have been some really pissed off and vocal people!

Do some WT phrases make you squirm?

for me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.

i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.

fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.

Oct 15th WT View of The Third Heaven--What a Scream!

by Mary in

ok, we all know the scripture where paul says "...i know a man in union with christ who, 14 years ago, was caught away to the third heaven.....whether in the body or apart from the body i do not know...he was caught away into paradise and heard unutterable words which it is not lawful or a man to speak.

according to the october 15th watchtower, you wanna know what exactly this means?

paragraph 9 says "....it would involve the christian congregation......when was that vision to be fulfilled?

betweenworlds

It's so incredibly galling how they make EVERYTHING in the universe, including God, the prophets, the bible etc. etc. Revolves around THEM!! Apparently the witnesses are the center of the universe.

Am I the only one who didn't know this?

by Mulan in

i was watching jeopardy in the kitchen, while cooking a little while ago, and found out that norah jones' father is ravi shankar.

i had never heard that before.

interesting.

betweenworlds

I did not know that about Norah!! Very interesting indeed. I just found out a few days ago that Mariska Hargitay from 'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit' Is Jayne Mansfield's daughter!

Your worst Watchtower Study ever?

by Celtic in

jw
friends

what article was it when you were a witness that was the most complicated for you to understand?

i remember that there were a right few beaut's, dad being the wt conductor, of course we had to go through the finer detail getting to the most indepth meaning and how it linked up.

hmmmmmmm.. what was your worst watchtower study ever then?

betweenworlds

Thankfully I can't recall any one in particular. They have all just blurred together in my memory like the watches in Dali's painting lol. The whole experience was rather surreal ;) Much of the time I was drawing grafitti in the margins and trying to zone out. Well there was the one time my barette sprang off my head and flew back 3 rows and hit someone sitting behind me! LOL now that was funnier than heck. Basically anything in Daniel or Ezekiel and the dratted banded tree and the time, times and half a times and blah blah blah, take out slide rule...calculate a bit more and there you have 1914! easy as pie. Thought I was a dunce for not seeing it clearly. They sound so sure of themselves I thought that SURELY they must be right and be must more intelligent than myself! Have I mentioned how incredibly joyful I am to be out from under the nonsense dogma of JWism??? YAY!!!!
